Vendors pull their own — orders, payments, performance, 1099s.
You came in because your purchaser spends the morning answering ‘did the PO go through?’ emails, and every brand wants its own spreadsheet of how it’s doing.
The portal lets every brand log into its own slice — open POs, payment status, a fill-rate scorecard, 1099 pull, sample-cap usage (WAC 314-55-096), a suggest-product form, an asset library, a calendar of upcoming menu plans. Compliance is gated: a vendor-license lapse pauses receiving automatically (WAC 314-55-035). Your purchaser stops being the inbox; the portal is the inbox.
The questions that used to be 7am emails, self-served.
Vendors self-serve their slice
Open POs, payment status, fill-rate scorecard, 1099 pull — the questions that used to land on your purchaser between other tasks.
Sample cap tracked in the portal
Trade-sample usage against the WAC 314-55-096 cap (30 units per quarter), visible to the vendor — not reconstructed from memory later.
Compliance gated at the door
A vendor-license lapse auto-pauses receiving (314-55-035). The portal won’t let you accept product you can’t legally take.
One channel, not an inbox
Suggest-product forms route to your purchaser, not a generic email; an asset library serves on-brand logos only.
Let the rows do the work.
Most shops run vendor relations out of one person’s email. Every status question, every scorecard request, every 1099 lands on the purchaser.
‘Did the PO go through?’
An email to your purchaser, answered between other tasks.
‘Did the PO go through?’
The vendor checks their own dashboard.
Fill-rate scorecard
Built by hand when a vendor asks.

Sample cap (314-55-096)
Tracked in a spreadsheet, maybe.
Sample cap (314-55-096)
Visible to the vendor against the 30-per-quarter cap.
Vendor-license lapse
Caught after you’ve already received.
Vendor-license lapse
Auto-pauses receiving (314-55-035).
Our purchaser stopped being the vendor help desk. The license-lapse gate exists because accepting product from a lapsed license is the kind of mistake that’s invisible until the WSLCB finds it.
See the vendor side.
The demo walks the vendor dashboard, the fill-rate scorecard, and the license-lapse receiving gate on a test run set up for your shop.
